Amendment
to Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement
|
This
agreement is dated as of May 31, 2009 (the "Effective Date"), by and
between WesBanco, Inc. (the "Borrower") and JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A. (together with its successors and assigns the "Bank"). The provisions of this
agreement are effective as of the Effective Date on the date that the Borrower
has satisfied all the conditions in Section 7 of this agreement.
WHEREAS, the Borrower and the
Bank entered into that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of
July 12, 2006, as amended by that certain Amendment to Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement dated as of May 31, 2007 (the "Credit Agreement");
and
WHEREAS, the Borrower has
requested and the Bank has agreed to amend the Credit Agreement as set forth in
this agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in mutual
consideration of the agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable
consideration, the parties agree as follows:
1.
|
DEFINED TERMS.
Capitalized terms used in this agreement shall have the same meanings as
in the Credit Agreement, unless otherwise defined in this
agreement.
|
2.
|
WAIVER. Pursuant to
Section 4.10 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower agreed to at all times
maintain a Consolidated Non-Performing Asset Ratio of not greater than one
and 75/100 percent (1.75%). The Borrower is out of compliance
with this requirement for the calendar quarter ended as of March 31, 2009
(the "Reporting Period
End Date") having reported a Consolidated Non-Performing Asset
Ratio of two and 19/100 percent
(2.19%).
|
Although
the Borrower is in default under the Credit Agreement because of the failure to
comply with the requirements of Section 4.10 of the Credit Agreement, the Bank
is electing to waive the specific default resulting from the Borrower’s failure
to comply with the above-referenced covenant but only for the calendar quarter
ended as of the Reporting Period End Date. Nothing in this paragraph
shall be construed as a waiver of any other term or condition of the Credit
Agreement nor shall be construed as a commitment on the part of the Bank to
waive any subsequent violation of the same or any other term or condition set
forth in the Credit Agreement, as amended by this agreement. As
consideration for the review of the Borrower’s request to waive the default
described above for the calendar quarter ended as of the Reporting Period End
Date, and for providing the limited waiver described in this paragraph, the
Borrower agrees to pay the Bank a fee in the amount of $3,000.00 (the "Waiver Fee"). The
Waiver Fee is due and payable on the date the Borrower executes and delivers
this agreement to the Bank. To effectuate payment of the Waiver Fee,
the Borrower hereby authorizes the Bank to initiate a debit entry to Account
Number 707505566 at the Bank and to debit the same to such account. The Borrower
represents that the Borrower is and will be the owner of all funds in such
account.
